The prIce has been steady fer the week, and the London market has absorbed a considerable amount of silver.
 Foreign Bank Statemepts.-The gov ernors of the Bank of England, at theIr weekly meeting, reduced the minimum rate of discount from 2l to per cent. During the week. the bank gained Gl44,- 600 bullion, but the proportion of re serve to its liabilities was raised from 50-lO to 50-90 per cent, against fl 7.l6 per cent at the same time last year. The weekly statement of the Bank of France shows gains of ,50.0OO francs gold, and 5.4O0,OO0 francs silver.
 OoPPER-The market ID general has been very dull for the past week. The expected sale of Lake copper apparently had the effect of keeping things quiet until the contracts were completed, and manufacturers and others saw how mat ters stood. We now learn that the Calumet & Hecla sale amounts to l4.0OO tons, or about 2S,000,000 pounds, at 10 cents. The effect of this large sale will probably be to keep the smaller pro ducers out of the market. If not to m duce them to stop their production. The copper sold by the Calumet & Hecls is for delivery from June to No vember, inclusive, and is for home con sumption. It is expected thst they will offer a further quantity, though from some sources We are told that they cleared themselves pretty we'll out for the present.
 Baltimore and Orford are held at 9i cents, but 1t is doubtful that over g cents could be obtained.
 Chill Bars are quoted to-day in Lon don at e39 5s.
 Export for the last ten days are report ed sI follows.
 The Liverpool, copper matte, 20si4 bags, ,, ,463 5UO pounds, and IS casks Of copper, g, 500 pounds.
 LEAD.-This metal has not altered materially during the week, but the drift has been slowly downward. The sales foot up sbout 300 tons. at 4:3Ot, and f: 20c. the former being for sprcIal brands or spot delivery. A. tho close, 4.2jc. Is bId Rnd ;30c. asked, with lead offered at 4:35 for dehvery over four months.
 Messrs. John Wahl S Co. of St Louis, telegraph to day as follows:
 As We proceed. the market, instead of showing signs of greater animation, on the contrary weakens more and more, and deslings are confined to small lots only. After a hard struggle the bears are on top. Sales will scarcely foot up 800 tons, at prices deceading from 4O7 l.c. to 4c.
 Messrs, Everett & Post. of Chicago. telegraph to-day as follows: Market quet and dull; prices unchanged. The market remains about the same, If any thing shade weaker Offerings are only moderate. There is but little doing. and demand from hand to month only. Price Lominslly 4'10c.-Finsncial and Mining Record.

ALTAR. SONORA. May |, 'sI.
 Editor Citizen:-At 2:45 p. m, yester- day. Altar was shaken by an earth quake. The motion or waves were from north to south, and consisted of two per ceptible shocks, the interval between only being two or three seconds, and the trembling lasting Hbout one minute. Everyone was very badly frightened and rushed into the streets for safety. There was no noise accompanying the shock except that of cracking walls. All the two story and high single story walls are more or less damaged The walls running east and west show no marks, only the north aud south ones; no one hurt and damage slight. have felt earthquake shocks many times in Cali forniR, but this was of a great deal more power than those I experienced there.
 I receive the WEEKLY CITIZEN every week, exactly one week after it IS pub lished. The Mexicsn mails snd mail service are one of those things We read of, and are very trying to family pIety.
 The Mir. Richards reported to have been poisoned at Magdglena, is Mir. A. Richards of this district. He has en- tIrely recovered, and there is no evI- dencs to prove that he was poisoned.

HOnors Easy.

Elsewhere we comment on the Benson correspondent of the Associated Press. Since reading the following which ap- pesred in the Los Angeles Herald. of the 7sh, We are inclined to believe hon. ors easy between Tucson and Benson. Possibly the correspondents shook hands over the wires. The one, however, Is full of bright possibilities and Is by its sbsurdities. inclined to counteract the Benson bug-R-boos. Sal in young men with the best man on top:
 TUOsos, A. T., May 7-Another vio- lent earthquake is reported to have oc- cured in the San Jose mountains, forty miles south of Fort Huschucs, in Sono- rs- General Forsythe has sent another exploration party to investigate. The party has just returned from the Santa Catalina mountains and report the csfion full of water brought 10 the sur fsce by the earthquake. This IS @ great boon for this region, ss there are thou- sands of acres of good farming land st the base of these mountains which only need water to make them valuable, An other good effect of the earthquake IS the opening of two large gold veins which were discovered in the Santa Cat slina Mountains at point where the whole side of the mountain slid down. Several prospecting parties left to-day to locate claims.

Gont fO thelr Doom.

Antonio Martinez, an officer of the Mexican Government, and special agent of Torres of Sonora, accompanied by two sub-ofiicials, arrived Monday and made reeuisition for the bodies of Lihrado Corona and Juan Soto Tspi4 m iail here. On presentation of the necessary papers both men were sur rendered to him, and m few hours af- ter his arrival here he was on his return with both prisoners heavily ironed. If will be remembered that Librsdo Cor ong was the individual Tn whose behalf the Wheaton robbery was planned and carried out. He had for shooting up the town been fined S2OO by Justice Meyer, and failing to pay was lsDguish- ing it out in jail at the rate of one dol lar day. tIis companions in crime. undertook sod dId pay his fine by a forced loan on Wheaton. By agree ment he was to be liberated for SlOO- sos was finally accepted ss tbe sum total and Corona WAS discharged only to be again Hrrested on the charge of horse stealing.
 Juan Soto Tapia was arrostoI a. Fair banks. ID Cochise County, by Sheriff Slaughter, on s telegram from Under Sheriff Shibell, who accidentally learned of hIs whereabouts, on suspicion Of being implicated Ia the SotO-kstz mur- der, near the southern borders ot this county, about two years ago. Sonora authorities were also on the outlook for these two men, and on learning of their capture an agent was at once sent to identify them. This he did and returned home pending the obtaining of the ueces- sary requisitiOn papers, The result Of his visit has been the surrender of tine two men.
 The crime for which they are wanted in Sonora is the killing and robbiDg. ID July, 1882, of Chueco SalsZar. a wealthy and influential citizen ot Sonora, who resided with his family on Sonora river about l5 miles from MsgdelenB, Jose Aguirre, recently killed by Marshal Rocbe, wEs also of the party, He at that time went by the name ot Jesus BeIeran. In Tucson he was known Rs Fl SaTco. A Mayo Indian was also believed to be Implicated in the robbery. which is said to be one of the most sirnciOus in ths annals of Mexico. The robbers had watched the house and calmly bided theIr tune til all the men folks. except ing SslGZar. were absent. SalHZar was garroted, and died shortly afterwards from the fleets of the msltTeatmens he received at the hands of the robbers There were several women in she house and they were grossly abused. The rob bers secured about 5000 in money, considerable ieWelIy, plate and other booty,
 It is not known what disposition will be made of these two men, but the belief IS general that they will be stood up against an adobe wall and shot, fate they richly deserve. Corona was of the belief that on his return to Mexico hIs head would be shaved and that he would be put m the army. bnt the more knowing ones believe that blue pilr will be his passport into eternity.

Dynamite Nat So Dangerous.

Dynamite is not nearly so dangerous a substance as people suppose, ' said Mir. Schrader. of the Atlantic Dynamite com pany, to a reporter. We have been en- gagged for over seventeen years in its manufacture and have had but two cX- plOsiOns in our factory. With experienced wOrkmen safety is almost assured. PeO- pie have an erroneous idea concerning its destructive qualities. Why, it cannot compare with ordinary black powder as a destroyer Take. for example. the at- tempt made Co blow up the British houses of parliament. If the same amount of black powder had been used she effect would have been far more disastrous. Why Because dynamite is instantane- Ous and local in its action. while powder is slower in expansion and more far reach ing in its destruction. Dynamite grinds into atoms everything within it's reach. Powder breaks things into pieces, but does not atomise them. Dynamite will not explode in fire. IL is exploded only by cOncusSiOn.'
 Then how does it happen that dyna- mite prOjectiles thrown from guns and mOrtars escape exploding in the Concus- sion of the powder used in projecting thems''
 That is easily explained. Atthe base Of the cartrise is affixed layer of rubber which breaks the force of the concussion. It is when it strikes and the cap attached Co the head of it eXplOdes that the cart ridge gJes of. This is the only way that dynamite can be employed in guns. If it were used like powder it would blow the gun tO atoms. New York Mail and Ex- press

 as he held it up before a reporter. ''She wasn't a bad looking girl as far as looks goes. He examined it critically at arm s length But" he added, ''she was a terror.

Some Of the officers. think, were in love with her and they had falling out. You know they said she was a rebel spy. She was a clever woman, guess, and mighty reckless.

 The old man is a dealer in, or rather col lectOr of. all sorts of old traps The store looks like an attic that has out lived many generations, or rather like a whole colony of attics.

Every day the pile has grown bigger, the books huddling together as if trying tC look over each others shoulders at the odd things in the windows. The old man is nearly always alone and silent. But he is not always sitting with his back tO the street. Sometimes he is dusting the old books or rubbing a ereased rag over the face of some oil painting that has almost passed out Of sight. Occasion ally some lady stops to look at the books or peep into the dark store. Sometimes they venture inside, but he never says a word, and after looking around they 20 away wondering at what they have seen. Washington Star

How Matches Are Made
 "Washington is going to be chOck full of marriagcble ladies this winter, said pretty little Southern widow the other evening. Do you know, n she continued, showing, a keen interest in the subject, ssthat this is the greatest match making city in the universes NO2 Well, US trne. More ladies come here tO get mar ried than to half a dozen other cities or the same population. It is because or the pleasant society, the beauty of the sur rolndings and the gallantry of the city: All the ladies want to live here; and don't blame them. have been coming here for three winters-bUt not for the purpose l mentiOn.'
 Do you think this desirable place 10 hunt husbands.
 .I cannot say so, and a fit of disap- pointment gleamed in her blessed deep black eye and the flush mounted her vel yety cheeks But 'tis good place Tor men to seek wives. l know you must have seen that much. The ladies are hand some and accomplished, as rule, and hundreds of them have wealth and social standing. As I said, they are smitten with the glare of the capital and the abandon of the people.

 II cannot say that there are, but you must remember that the matches made here are culminated elsewhere. The ladies come here, meet residents or visit Ors. court. make engagements, then go home and get married. O, its jolly, counting in Westinghouse different from other places. There is romance in everything \ woman thnt couldn't plot an elopement here, under the glitter of the White House. the roar and hustle Di the Capitol. and tJ the music of the dining room and ball, isn't worth having.

 EDITOR CITIzES:-On the 3i inst, We, also, had a severe earthquake scare. lasting maybe two minutes-not more.

Sufficient to cause quite scare amongst the ladies and cause them to jump and run from house to house. Mastering fell. build ings rocked and swayed ss if about 10 fall. but no other damage was done. than big scare. Last night about II o'clock 6 very distinct short shock was heard by all, buildings cracked and women screamed,

Immediately after the earthquake yes terday the water came bubbling from the hIllsides on the Abbott ranch, ID Sulph- CT Spring Valley, from where water has never been seen. The extent of the wa tsr line Is about one mile. and at the present time sufficient wster IS running from the recent exposed seams to sup ply one hundred thousand head of cattle. In one place in particular far up on the mountain side 6 stream of pure water IS belching forth from the hillside fully ten inoes ID diameter, and at present shows no signs of oessing. Should this water supply continue. this will be the most valuable ranch in Arizona. Mir. Psscholy says there Is at present time sufficient water to irrigste one thousand acres of land.
